OMG Alexei made a bad play, the entire defense sux!!!!!!!

QUOTE (BaseballNick @ Apr 1, 2009 -> 11:39 AM) In somewhat related news: Oh man, that kid may get beat up a bit.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 1, 2009 -> 11:38 AM) I loathed Pods, but he definitely is a better player than Wise, even as a CF. I think the Sox should go for it and give him a short leash. As soon as his first sports hernia injury occurs put him on the DL and then waive him when he comes off. Him and BA as a platoon is alot better than Wise and BA IMO.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Apr 1, 2009 -> 08:46 AM) The Broncos want a 1st in 09 and in 2010 plus a 2nd rounder this season. And the Bears could have a valuable pick in #18. Why? Because that's 1 pick ahead of Tampa Bay, who themselves are looking for a young QB. The Broncos could take Freeman at #18 in a trade with the Bears. The Bears need to negotiate that down a bit, but its not totally unreasonable.

There is zero percent chance in hell I could sit and reach past my toes, thats such a dumb fitness test.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 06:18 PM) Add Henry (if he can still go to UK) and Cousins (if he does go) plus Meeks (if he stays) and that black hole suddenly is gone. I have no idea what that means, but its clear since Adolf was there that tenure is hard to come by at UK.

Should have been renamed b**** thread.

I dont understand why anyone would want the black hole of a job that is Kentucky.

QUOTE (Cali @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 12:24 AM) I trust Colon more on the mound than Richard at this point.... Yup, me too. Guy just had elbow surgery, give him a little time to get the feel back for pitching as well as build up strength in his arm. He showed last season that he still could bring it.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 09:29 PM) This thread is just another pathetic example of ignorant doomsday Sox "fans" spending all their time projecting player failure and b****ing about management moves, but when the team wins the division those same tossers raise a glass and celebrate "Sox Pride". Enjoy the party, losers. Definitely a case of you are what your screen name is.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 09:50 AM) Luongo really wasn't tested by the Hawks too much last night. It was a pretty pathetic effort for being pretty much the biggest game of the year. They didn't really show much heart until Buff ran Luongo. Then it was scrap-city. I dont think that was as much heart as it was a blatant cheap shot, as was Bolland rushing Sedin.

s***, I thought it was THIS sat.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 05:10 PM) . I just don't think I can defend this organization's f***-ups anymore. This offseason has been one of the most dreadful I've ever seen. ???? Overreaction much? Most dreadful you've EVER seen? Holes in the bottom of the rotation: Count back healthy, pick up vet Colon Battle for 2B: Getz declared winner, great organizational decision Trade both Swisher and javy: get a good return for both, Yanks cant pay a team to take Swish. Minor league system continues to be solidified, youth injected into major league ballclub=success Only major hole is CF/Leadoff, which will probably be half solved with Getz. Also nobody from the Sox has come out and declared Wise the full time starter, so I'd hold off judgement till at least April is halfway done.

McD could have been trade bait.

And yet the only information we have on this is from Cowley and Gonzalez. It makes me mad that we probably coulda had Josh Anderson from ATL for someone like McD

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 11:47 AM) Given his size/weight and tendency to burn calories fast he needs to intake more than just lean protein, he needs to increase his fat intake, too, or he's never going to see much size increase. True, I was just trying to make a point that its easier to buy the protein even if its somewhat expensive. For someone of that body type I recommend muscle milk since it had a pretty good fat content.

Captain Guitar hero is back on the DL huh?

He cant hit lefties, I see a platoon regardless of what the reporters say.

Spartans-Heels, UNC takes it.

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Mar 28, 2009 -> 11:54 PM) A lot of shakes that claim to be 100% whey or soy actually contain a lot of sugar too. Can you recommend some lean protein shake brands? Another issue is cost. If you buy a bucket of protein and take the recommended amounts, you'll go through a $50.00 bucket in a week. Do that math over a month, 6months, etc. If you dont want to buy the protein, your best bet is to supplement your 3 meals a day with about 3 other servings of maybe a dozen egg whites or so.

Cowley's awful reporting was a big part of the media bias towards OC. COwley was slighted ONCE in a postgame interview and as his usual unprofessional attitude went totally off base in describing OC's behavior. I have some emails saved from Joe that show some of his bias. He's known for that in the media circle and has rubbed many the athlete and co-worker the wrong way. Its one of the reasons he isnt very welcome in the Sox clubhouse today

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Mar 28, 2009 -> 08:22 PM) eh, I've never been a big fan of Forest Park. It always seemed like one of those snobby affluent towns. Not even close to accurate, maybe you are thinking about River Forest or Oak Park?

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Mar 28, 2009 -> 02:00 AM) Where is Forest Park, anyway? I rather have it in Evergreen Park cause I know the area very well and relatives lived there all my life. :-p Directly west on madison.

Forest Park is the new southside parade, mark it down. CLose to the city, tons of bars.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 27, 2009 -> 11:55 PM) Exactly, and even if he improves, next year's draft class is much better than the epically awful one this year, and thus his stock still might not improve. Plus, Mullens' family is poor, as everybody knows. But don't let logic get in the way of a smitten fan. Thats why i didnt, one more year in college and he's a lottery pick instead of a fringe 1st rounder. He more than doubles his money. I love logic. For example the 30th pick gets 797,600; 857,400; 917,200 While the 14th pick gets 1.424;1.531;1.638
